Research summary > [Click to expand]

My major interest is in the application of the economics of information to the welfare state. My writing covers insurance, social insurance, and health finance and, most particularly, the economics of pensions and the finance of higher education. My research covers the economic theory underlying those institutions, and also the application of the theory to policy.
